SAMSON ROPEAmSteel-Blue Dyneema SK-75 Single Braid

With enhanced creep performance, AS-78 incorporates high-performance Dyneema® SK-78 into a 12-strand single braid line. Dyneema SK-78 fiber has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of all the high-modulus fibers. Very high strength is matched with very low weight, and it floats. Its extremely low elongation and outstanding creep performance are matched by excellent flex-fatigue performance and abrasion resistance. It offers the racing community the next generation in high-performance lines and is the same price as Samson's SK-75 single braid. Stretch: 0.70 % at 20% of breaking strength.

Stronger than wire rope constructions and has outstanding wear resistance
